. . . is up and running! When it comes to cars, everyone has his favorite. There are Porsche, Lotus, Lamborghini, and Volvo fans here, to name a few. Me? I'm a Mopar guy. Dodge 'n Plymouth musclecars - the stuff my dreams are made of. And these days, my d...

I should add…

(for those who might not be aware and might find of interest) while all 3 cars are rightly noted for their exotic curves, the race cars won Le Mans in their day and are closely associated with Steve McQueen, who owed the Jag and famously raced the Porsche...
It was a toss-up between her . . .

. . . and Sophia. Jayne was out of the running . . . long on curves, yes, but short on class, which the Doozy and Jag also have in spades. 😉 ...
Great shot of your Navitimer dear Captain!!
By: Subexplorer : October 2nd, 2021-14:47
The devilish red Countach makes for a wonderful background. That’s a true dream machine! Have a nice weekend my friend!! Best Abel
Thank you dear friend …

It’s a brute of a car ! Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Airporter with Watches
By: cazalea : October 1st, 2021-17:06
The "Airporter" is what was used by hotels and tourist resorts to move guests around, BEFORE the advent of the rental car bus / coach. They have 3-4 doors or more on each side, and usually are station wagons (for luggage) and are not limousines. I have al...
Interesting post dear Mike!
By: Subexplorer : October 2nd, 2021-14:51
They are part of a long gone era of travels I guess. But what wonderful sight they make still today. I like the watches you choose for each of them. Well played!! Hagwe! Abel
Simply fantastic!
By: KMII : October 3rd, 2021-13:45
Wasn’t there a Checker Airporter as well, whatever that was called? 😊 Some great choices but I have to say that the VH definitely has to have me prefer the last combination 👌🏻👏🏻
Watches , cars and bikes are definitely something i like 🤗

The combinations and vehicles are epic but that Scania is simply next level! Do you still drive it?
Great post

My dream car is something time has been erasing - bringing fine examples to rust and dust. It is so costly to maintain a vintage car. Here it is, the old W123 model. Mercedes W123. Credit: Livecarmodel But why? It’s not the fastest, most lux, or state-of-...
Your neighbor reminds me of Uncle Steve . . .
By: Dr No : October 1st, 2021-23:29

W123
By: bimbeano : October 2nd, 2021-19:32
In 1982 my grandfather acquired a 230E W123 … i still regret the day i let it go 😪. As a young kid i loved to sit in the rear, later on in the front and at the age of 15 my grandfather let it drive me from time to time. When i turned 18 he bought me a bra...
It looks like a dream
By: Cookies : October 2nd, 2021-19:39
The aesthetic of this car is so elegant, sleek and well proportioned. That is one beautiful stunning car, back then, and even more so today. I hope you will find a great example one day. I am keeping my eyes out for a day when I find one in a great condit...

. . . no contemporary American sedan offered that essential luxury ;-) . . .
I think most had a 5 speed manual …
By: bimbeano : October 4th, 2021-20:32
Adding 5th was an option those days 😁. Some automatic transmission as well, 3 speed i believe … not sure.
Ok sure
By: Cookies : October 2nd, 2021-22:17
If i come across one yes I will instantly contact u, or Nico if i cannot reach u here.
W123 I have rocky memories of that car ...

For awhile I was working down in this neighborhood and drove past this poor car every day. Effective advertising perhaps, but painful no matter how often I saw it. We published information used by body shops to repair cars, and at that time our company's ...
Amazing ad

Wow it looks like art!
Dear Dr, amazing cars you’ve shown. Genuine USA.
By: aWtchslvr : October 1st, 2021-20:32
Talking with my friends I’ve expressed many times my love for the classic american models. Now, if I have to choose my all time favorite car... Mercedes 500 SL 80’s. It would be perfect with other classic. Great weekend. ...
The ultimate . . .

. . . Pagoda. I recall poring over the '68 MB catalog when Dad was contemplating buying a car that year. The 280SL captured my imagination. Radial tires were standard equipment - radical then. "Dad, let's get this one!" "Sorry, kid, it seats only two. We ...
I love vintage cars!

Only problem is, I don't have one! But here are some I've spotted around town recently: Morris Minor Austin Mini Vintage IWC with die cast Triumph Spitfire Mk IV ...
Loads of vintage cars in So Cal . . .
By: Dr No : October 2nd, 2021-22:07
. . . but rarely have an opportunity for picture-taking. As luck would have it the owner of this Mustang . . . . . . was getting into his car so I had a golden opportunity to take a few. And yes, his name is James Dean. 😉 ...
What a name! Nice find.

I know that feeling !
Fabulous choices Abel …
By: Cpt Scarlet : October 2nd, 2021-15:13
The DB5 with your Rolex 5508 is the perfect combination ! Your Jaguar S-Type in British Racing Green looks good and was in my opinion the last of cars with Jaguar signature styling. As for your Mustang, it’s a classic dream for any collector. Have a great...
Thank you so much Ruffian for your kind compliments!
By: Subexplorer : October 3rd, 2021-12:46
We love this car too as it was a project which took several years to finish it and was shared with my son who worked very hard sourcing parts, taking the engine to a workshop to rebuild it and the body to another to fix it, painting, etc. The finished car...

Mainly my MX5 - but options for when I win the lottery
By: jml_watches : October 2nd, 2021-18:53
Hi Well I liked my MX5 so much, I bought a second of the same version. But if we're talking unlimited money I'd rather like a Bristol, rather undersated idiosyncratic cars. A late model 411 would be good - with perhaps a bit of modernisation. Or perhaps l...

Well!

After travelling around the world with her, between the pandemic and myself getting lazier and lazier... Yes a crocker... i just travel a few miles a week and don't know whether to keep it or sell it!
Nice tanned hands

U can be a model for watches. Looks tough. Have a great week S.
Dear Art, thank you for hosting this weekend's Wristscan
By: terbaboom : October 3rd, 2021-04:37
i guess i'm a little greedy when it comes to dream cars... much like collecting watches so here goes a building of dream cars, from vintage to modern this remains a dream, of course as for the accompanying watches, here's a Chopard GTXL and a Rolex Dayton...
thanks, Captain!
By: terbaboom : October 3rd, 2021-15:34
this "garage" building actually belongs to a local car dealer
thanks, Abel!
By: terbaboom : October 3rd, 2021-15:37
indeed, such a garage with those cars inside is a dream for many. i should have gone into the business of selling cars when younger
Here are my current wheeled toys
By: VinnieD : October 3rd, 2021-09:51
Great posts everyone, some amazing machines there! These are stock photos; the weather is terrible today to take any decent picture. Funnily enough, they are both exactly the same power - 125-126 hp. Respective price and level of pleasure were quite simil...
I am not the best to match vehicle and watch
By: VinnieD : October 3rd, 2021-13:39
I have been seen wearing an Aquanaut driving a quad, or a Calatrava driving a motorbike. >> I clearly need to be more coherent there ;-) My current all-rounder OP39 qualifies for all situations
Cool mustang!

Been a while…
By: KMII : October 3rd, 2021-12:04
Since we had a car. If petrol is still to happen, I guess one of the following two might enter the household: Or if vintage… As for watches, let’s see what was in the wrist recently… HAGWE! ...
I had one way back when, a '65 Dodge Dart GT . . .
By: Dr No : October 3rd, 2021-16:28
. . . powered by a 273 c i four-barrel engine backed by a Torque-flite automatic trans. Terrific driver, nimble by American standards; my brother wrecked it in a collision with a deer in the early '80s. Three years ago, we were discussing matters automoti...

Yes. Always GM and Ford, while there is only one tru winner. The Cuda and for me also the Baracuda. The Heart song is on the usb stick in my car. I watched the AMC cars, nice, but think it would be a nightmare to maintain and find parts for it. Dodge and ...
